White published 12 novels and nearly 30 short stories during his lifetime, together with a modest number of poems. His great novels, from The aunt's story (1948) to Memoirs of many in one (1986), were written steadily over a period of almost 40 years. His dozen produced dramatic works were written in two distinct periods of activity: from The ham funeral in 1947 to A cheery soul in 1962, and then again from Big toys in 1977 to Shepherd on the rocks in 1987. He published a number of essays, especially in his later years when he became a reluctant activist for the preservation of Centennial Park and other green spaces, for indigenous rights, for an Australian republic and against nuclear arms. He also published a 1981 autobiography, Flaws in the glass. He was a prolific correspondent, with a selection of his thousands of known letters appearing in David Marr's 1994 publication, Patrick White: letters. White died in 1990. His lifelong partner, Manoly Lascaris, survived him for 13 years, dying in 2003. aExhibited: Treasures Gallery, National Library of Australia, 16a April, 2016 aSelected items exhibited in: "The Life of Patrick White", National Library of Australia, 13 April - 8 July 2012, State Library of New South Wales, 20 August to 28 October 2012. aExhibited: "Treasures Gallery", National Library of Australia, 7 October 2011 - 15 December 2012.5AuCNL aSelected items exhibited: Visitor Centre, National Library of Australia, 3 November 2006 - 31 January 2007.5AuCNL10aWhite, Patrick,d1912-1990vArchives.10aLascaris, Manoly,d1912-2003vArchives. 0aAuthors, Australiany20th centuryvArchives. 0aAustralian literaturey20th century. 7aAuthors.2lcsh1 aLascaris, Manoly,d1912-2003.41zNational Library of Australia digitised itemuhttp://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-22419195642zFinding aid at National Library of Australiauhttp://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-224191956/findingaid aPriority 1 aManuscripts subject term: Literature
